Purpose

Global SIP peering connects the phone system to external SIP networks and service providers for expanded calling and redundancy. Proper configuration enables interoperable routing, pilot-based inbound handling, and backup paths to maintain call reliability during outages or provider issues.

How to Navigate

Log in to the 2talk portal. Then, go to:
SwitchBoard | Preferences | SIP Peering Global section.

How to Configure

• Enable SIP Peering Global using the main toggle
  • Configure the SIP Peering number for identification and routing association.
  • Set the Pilot Number for incoming peered calls to anchor inbound distribution.
  • Configure the Primary IP address for the main peering connection.
  • Set a Failover IP address for backup connectivity.
  • Configure authentication and security settings (e.g., credentials, IP-based trust, encryption)
  • Set routing preferences for peered calls to define path selection and handling rules.
  • Click SAVE to establish the peering connections.
• Test connectivity with peering partners to confirm registration and call setup.
• Monitor peering connection status and performance for stability.
• Configure backup routes for redundancy and update them as network conditions change.
